Hi Sandy,
<div class="">we have removed many datasets as the source of species images from our backbone. Especially wikipedia as the images did not always represent the species.</div>
<div class="">You can still find these images when querying for the wikipedia record directly, e.g.:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.gbif.org/species/113368808" class="">http://www.gbif.org/species/113368808</a></div>
<div class="">
<div class=""><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/113368808/media" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/</a><a href="http://www.gbif.org/species/113368808" class="">113368808</a>/media</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The backbone taxon does not show that image:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.gbif.org/species/2494528" class="">http://www.gbif.org/species/2494528</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now there are only 4 images of a single species left that depicts a bird :)</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/120620864/media" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/120620864/media</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For other groups this is not so bad. But wikipedia was the major source for species images.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best,</div>

<div class="">Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
I’m not sure about the species endpoint, but this might get you what you need:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?taxon_key={int}&media_type=StillImage" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?taxon_key={int}&media_type=StillImage</a><br class="">
<br class="">
e.g http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?taxon_key=212&media_type=StillImage gives you 682,964 bird occurrences with associated images.<br class="">

Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
the /species/{int}/media endpoint seems to be broken. The result set is<br class="">
alway empty, even for the ID linked in the examples under<br class="">
http://www.gbif.org/developer/species . In December 2016, I was able to<br class="">
get plenty of Images for different bird-species through the API, but now<br class="">
this is not possible anymore. I need to do this because I am trying to<br class="">
train an AI used for image classification in context of my master's thesis.<br class="">
<br class="">
Could somebody tell me if anything changed and I'm doing something wrong<br class="">
or I am right and the empty result really is caused by an error on the<br class="">
server-side?<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks you in advance, Dayzd<br class="">
